Dark circles and wrinkles under eyes

[Fanjeera]

Am I risking with permanent dark circles and wrinkles under eyes that won't go away after stopping the drug while taking minoxidil and finasteride?
I haven't taken Propecia yet, but have been using Regaine 5% for two years and have very fucked up eye surroundings. Is it possible that I have made the furrows permanent by using the drug so long or is there still a point in stopping it and never trying Propecia?
I have read people complaining about very long lasting dark circles and wrinkles around eyes after quitting the drug.
Thanks!

Can you be so sure it's from minoxidil then? Did you start that later and then they appeared? I currently have 1 full bottle of Regaine and 1 used bottle. I think I'm gonna use them up and then quit... That means autumn. Meanwhile I will be testing Propecia with extra small doses too, if I get a time to the doctor.

I have to agree with Timi here...

minoxidil gave me dark circles and bloated face. it's just not worth it. I'd rather lose my hair than the shape of my face.

minoxidil once a Day?
or 2% minoxidil

or all 2Days

I had the same problems after being on minoxidil for a year. The bad dark circles went away after 3 months of quitting minoxidil.

I am contemplating using rogaine foam soon but only sparingly along the hairline.
